Fake cops about?

I passed a cop car on the way to work this morning.

Not that unusual, perhaps, especially for someone who lives by the back entrance to our local police station, except that somehow I don't think this particular cop car was a real one.

For one, it didn't have the Hertfordshire Constabulary livery, nor even the neighbouring Cambridgeshire equivalent (we're about a mile from the county border). No, the county that it claimed affiliation to was Hazzard County.

Yeeha!

(I suspect it was this one.)

Clue needed

OK, I need a clue or two.

Has anyone successfully compiled GCC 4.2.0 under Solaris 8, using GCC 3.3.2? I'm getting several hours into the build, and then getting a failure:

In file included from /export/spare/dev/gcc-4.2.0/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/libstdc++-v3/include/ext/pb_ds/detail/standard_policies.hpp:51,

What's confusing me is that the file does, so far as I can tell, exist.

bash-2.03$ cd /export/spare/dev/gcc-4.2.0/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/libstdc++-v3/include
bash-2.03$ ls -l ext/pb_ds/detail/resize_policy/hash_load_check_resize_trigger_size_base.hpp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 alan dev 128 Jun 11 17:56 ext/pb_ds/detail/resize_policy/hash_load_check_resize_trigger_size_base.hpp -> /export/spare/dev/gcc-4.2.0_src/libstdc++-v3/include/ext/pb_ds/detail/resize_policy/hash_load_check_resize_trigger_size_base.hpp

Is this OS too old for me to build this, or what? (I'll note that the other inclusions from that source file from that directory work fine - is it a filename length?) I'll candidly admit that I've not tried to use Solaris before, and I've never tried to build gcc either.

ETA: OK, I think I know the answer. When I extracted the sources from the tar file, tar itself truncated some file names. So though the links exist, the linkees don't ... not when the names are very long.

Currently building Gnu tar, and will then use that to reextract all the sources
